T-Minus

We went back for our 34 week visit yesterday, did I mention 34 weeks? All is well once again at the doctor's office and more importantly no change once again. Monday we will be 8 weeks further along than we were with Jackson and rapidly approaching a September 22nd delivery date.

We asked Dr. Hix yesterday what his thoughts were on the size of this little girl right now and after giving the eye to the belly and a little measuring he thinks she is upwards of 6lbs right now. He said he thinks we will hit the 7lb mark with her before this pregnancy is over. The sound of 6lbs almost brought tears to my eyes as I was once again reminded of God's provision and hedge of protection around this baby girl's life before she is ever born. 6lbs now and 7lbs in 3 weeks is bigger than Jack was after spending 69 days in the hospital. Go ahead and pinch yourself and go back to the beginning of this paragraph and read the part about how much this little girl is going to weigh. I am never really sure why I am amazed when God provides for us when we ask...hello, He is God and that is why we trust Him to do all things according to His plan. Praise the Lord for how well this pregnancy is going even though Tam is getting(...err strike that) Tam is ready to have this little girl from a comfort standpoint, we are content to wait until the time has come. Not that I am counting but as of today it is 20 days away!!!

We have plenty of help here this weekend as the family is in town for the USC game here in Fayetteville, GO HOGS! Tamara has baby girl a modified girlie Razorback jersey ready to support her favorite team when she is born. It is a Matt Jones jersey that Jack used to wear that now has pom-pom fringe on the bottom, cute and girlie.

Please continue to pray for this precious baby and for Tamara. Thank you again for your prayers and for your calls and help. We love you all.

We're praying for the girlie. Great news. Can we get a Mitch Mustain jersey for her or what?
